Meet April

I offer individual and couples counseling in Austin, TX. I work with adults who have come from difficult backgrounds and are looking for relief from their struggles, or just more joy in their day-to-day lives. Having a difficult background could mean you had a dangerous or unsatisfactory childhood, a history of abusive relationships, a family where addiction was present, or parents who struggled with mental health issues of their own. If there is a lot of conflict or fighting in your relationships, you struggle with anxiety, or you're looking for more purpose and meaning in your life, therapy can help. 

​

Before returning to school to become a therapist, I worked for 10 years in the marketing and communications field. Using that experience and my first-hand knowledge of corporate and start-up cultures, I also enjoy working with young adults on career counseling, supporting them to achieve work-life balance and find the best path for them. 

 

Whether you're looking for short-term support on a specific problem or have challenges in several areas of your life, I can individually tailor our work together to meet your needs. 

 

Call or email me for a complimentary phone consultation today.
